A match bottle is a type of container, typically made of glass, used to store and dispense safety matches. It usually features a cork or screw cap that allows for easy access to the matches while keeping them dry and protected. Some match bottles have a striking surface on the side for igniting the matches, making them practical for outdoor use or in situations where convenience is essential. They are often used as decorative items as well, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
If the match is lit and the bottle is empty, the match will burn all the oxygen and then it will go out, since it requires oxygen to keep burning. If the bottle is full, you will have a wet match.
If you put a lit match in a bottle, and put like a screw cap on it, the flame from the match will use up all the oxygen in the bottle and when there is no oxygen left, the match will just go out.
When a lit match is dropped into the bottle, the air inside heats up and expands. As the match burns out, the air inside the bottle cools down, creating a vacuum. The external air pressure then forces the egg into the bottle.
One way to put an egg in a bottle is to light a match inside the bottle, quickly place a peeled hard-boiled egg on top of the bottle opening, and watch as the egg gets sucked into the bottle due to the change in air pressure when the match goes out.
One way to show the presence of air in a seemingly empty bottle is to place a lit match into the bottle and quickly seal it shut. The match will extinguish due to lack of oxygen, indicating that the air in the bottle contains oxygen. Alternatively, you can shake the bottle vigorously and observe any condensation that forms inside, indicating the presence of moisture in the air.
Type F, synthetic. This is a fluid match. Dodge Chrsler fluid is an actual relabeled bottle match, for the really anal.
Here is one. Place this on a bottle of Champagne. May all your pain be Champagne.
MATERIALS NEEDED: glass bottle with a long, narrow neck (an apple cider jug works well), boiled egg, matches. PROCESS: Put the empty bottle on a table, Peel the boiled egg, Light a match and drop it into the bottle. Repeat about three or four times, Quickly put the egg over the mouth of the bottle. EXPLANATION: The lit match heats the air inside the bottle. When air is heated it expands and takes up more room. As the heated air expands, some of it escapes out of the bottle. When the matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts, which takes up less room. This creates a lower pressure inside the bottle than outside the bottle. The greater pressure outside the bottle forces the egg to get sucked into the bottle.
Yes, place a flame (match, candle, etc) inside the bottle, then quickly place an egg on top. As the air in the bottle burns, the pressure will drop and the egg will be sucked into the bottle.
Get yourself an empty two liter bottle. Pour just a bit of hot water in there and shake it with the lid on to get tiny water particles suspended in the air. Take the lid back off and insert a lit match into the opening until it burns out. The smoke from the match is what we want. Twist the cap back on and tightly squeeze the bottle as hard as you can. When you release the pressure, you will find that a cloud formed inside your bottle.
If you're referring to the common science demonstration, the answer is that the heated air in the bottle expands. When it re-cools (after the egg has been placed on the neck of the bottle) it is at a much lower pressure than the surrounding atmosphere; the weight of the air above it is then sufficient to push the egg into the bottle.
The grass would presumably catch on fire, however, if the bottle was sealed, the fire would eventually burn out due to the lack of oxygen required to continue combustion.
